Justice, Moral, Future, Bioethics, Moral enhancementAbstract
This paper aims to show the moralistic discourse present in the work of Persson and Savulescu Unfit for the Future. The Need for Moral Enhancement. The first part will show the need to make a distinction between questions of justice and moral questions. This is a main distinction for the moral philosopher and bioethicist. I will try to answer a question: Does the moral philosopher use a moralistic discourse? In the second part, I will link the moralistic proposal of Persson and Savulescu with the novel of Stanislaw Lem The futurological Congress.
